Chapter 457: Fishing for the moon in the well

Chapter 457: Fishing for the moon in the well
"At Yinshan, the Looking-Homeward Terrace is disturbed."

Nie Zheng stared at the identity device, his eyes filled with thought.

This is a message sent by Jiang Zhao.

Strange changes have occurred in the Yinshan Wonderland.

Especially the Wangxiangtai (Viewing Home Terrace).

Its function of experiencing the mortal world is completely unusable.

Above the Viewing Platform.

An ancient well was also discovered.

From the abstract to the concrete, it slowly takes shape.

Jiang Jian's identity device.

Before leaving the spacecraft, it had already been sent back to Earth.

Jiang Zhao, unable to contact Jiang Jian.

They had no choice but to try contacting Nie Zheng.

"Judging from the picture, it doesn't seem too serious."

"Nothing should happen in the short term."

Nie Zheng frowned slightly, looked at the photo in the message, pondered for a moment, and then made a call to Jiang Zhao.

according to rules.

During the operational plan, the identification device needs to be retrieved.

If, due to special circumstances, the items were not retrieved, they must absolutely not be disclosed.

therefore.

Before making the call, Nie Zheng had already activated the sealing array and taken out a signal repeater to ensure that the communication was foolproof and could not be eavesdropped on by any means.

beep.

A few seconds later.

A beep sounds.

Communication is connected.

"Sister Nie Zheng."

Jiang Zhao's pleasant voice reached my ears.

Nie Zheng raised his wrist and replied, "It's me."

On the other end of the communication.

Jiang Zhao paused for a moment, then said, "Please forward that message to Jiang Jian. He doesn't need to reply; just let him know about it."

Obviously.

Jiang Zhao had already guessed that Jiang Jian was unable to receive communications.

just.

Jiang Jian took the matter of Wangxiangtai very seriously and had repeatedly instructed that if anything unusual happened, he should be informed immediately.

This is also why Jiang Zhao still tried to contact Jiang Jian after dealing with the matter.

"Okay, I will forward it."

Nie Zheng nodded slightly and asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened at the Looking-Homeward Terrace on Yinshan Mountain?"

the other side.

After a moment's consideration, Jiang Zhao did not treat Nie Zheng as an outsider and said directly, "A few days ago, Wangxiangtai suddenly became uncontrollable, as if it had been separated from Yinshan, and no one could use it."

“What’s even stranger is that above it, there is a phantom ancient well.”

“There are strange phantoms in this ancient well.”

"It is slowly solidifying along with the illusory ancient well."

Jiang Zhao sent over a video and said in a deep voice, "I have carefully deduced that if we do not interfere, at this rate, it will take less than six months to materialize."

Nie Zheng opened the video and watched it carefully, his expression becoming somewhat solemn.

Jiang Zhao continued, "However, I have discussed with the Night Patrol Envoy that we plan to use Xu Wei's essence to infuse the power of the Yinshan Wonderland and compete for control of the Wangxiangtai."

"In this way, it can be made to solidify for a much longer period of time."

Xu Wei is responsible for guarding the Wangxiangtai (Watchtower), and is its companion creature.

Its divine soul origin.

There is a connection between it and Wangxiangtai.

Jiang Zhao used this to his advantage, pulling at the control of Wangxiangtai and temporarily preventing the ancient well from appearing in the world.

The reason she sent the message was...

I was just trying to tell Jiang Jian about this.

after all.

Jiang Jian once said.

The thing imprisoned at Wangxiangtai is related to the ancient beast Diting, and is extremely dangerous.

A slight mishap could lead to disaster.

"Sister Jiang Zhao, it's good that you have an idea."

Nie Zheng replied, "I will forward this to Jiang Jian as soon as possible. If any further trouble arises, you can come and ask me."

Jiang Zhao chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'll handle it."

"For the next period of time, I will go out with the Night Patrol Envoy to find a way to eliminate the ancient well."

"If all else fails, I have other ways to deal with it."

Jiang Zhao's tone was laced with coldness.

Obviously.

She had many ideas about dealing with the strange ancient well.

Communication hang up.

Nie Zheng put away his identity device, hesitated for a moment, and did not immediately forward the message.

She knew it.

at this time.

Jiang Jian is currently in the capital city, participating in the Demon Kingdom's assessment.

If they are distracted and this affects voter selection, it would not be a good thing.

"My spiritual practice cannot lag behind."

Thinking about it.

The girl in white sat down on the ground, clearing her mind of all distractions, picked up the thin longsword, and continued to cultivate her supernatural powers.

When they came to Jiuchang.

Nie Zheng had already changed out of her skirt and was wearing a loose white combat uniform.

Her long, black hair was tied with a white bow hair tie.

Tying her hair into loose pigtails looks really good.

As their clothes fluttered and danced.

The girl closed her eyes, and a chilling sword intent emanated from her body.

The moment these sword intents appeared, they carried an extremely cold and terrifying killing intent, even causing the surrounding air to show signs of freezing!

This sword intent technique was passed down by the goddess in white.

Its origin is mysterious, stemming from the distant planet Neptune!

Nie Zheng knew that this was a protective measure given to him by his mistress out of concern.

therefore.

She valued this supernatural power highly.

He began his spiritual practice while aboard the spaceship.

Until they settled in Hatojo City.

While dealing with numerous and complicated matters, Nie Zheng...

He never slacked off in his own self-cultivation.

Although her cultivation was not as fanatical as Jiang Jian's.

But compared to ordinary people, he is still considered extremely hardworking.

at the same time.

Earth, the Earth's surface.

Chang'an Prefecture, the second boundary.

"There isn't enough time."

Shen Xi sat on the stone chair in the temple with a gloomy expression, staring at the screen of the identity device.

On the holographic screen is a table.

"Application for Household Registration Transfer"

Applicant: Shen Qingchan.

"Guarantor: Guanxi Pavilion Inspector".

Below the table.

Attached was a message that Jiang Jian sent in advance before leaving.

In the information.

Jiang Jian spoke politely, stating that Shen Qingchan's talent was of great use to him and that he wanted to take her away and have her settle on Earth.

This is a test.

Jiang Jian had rather complicated feelings about Shen Xi.

Shen Xi had helped him on several occasions, both openly and secretly.

therefore.

After Jiang Jian sent Qingfeng to make several contacts with Shen Qingchan.

Before leaving Earth, he left this message for Shen Xi.

Jiang Jian didn't beat around the bush, but laid it all out, almost directly asking about Shen Xi's attitude towards Shen Qingchan.

If it were Shen Xi, she would have other plans.

Jiang Jian will temporarily give up and stop trying to rescue Shen Qingchan.

after all.

I have no right to interfere in other people's affairs between father and daughter.

If it were Shen Xi, her stance would soften.

Then.

It will be only a matter of time before Shen Qingchan is rescued from the second realm.

Jiang Jian cleverly avoided mentioning any possible schemes Shen Xi might have had in the message.

It only mentions Shen Qingchan.

Furthermore, he expressed his thoughts.

The true secrets behind Shenxi's century-long existence were not mentioned at all.

Thus.

This way, one can both avoid crossing Shen Xi's bottom line and still express their own demands.

soon.

Shen Xi put away her identity device and looked at the other screen in front of her.

in the screen.

A young girl dressed in plain clothes is sitting on the seabed, diligently cultivating herself.

"You and she are really alike."

Shen Xi gazed at the girl, his expression wistful.

soon.

The young man in white robes composed himself, stood up from the stone bench, and regained his composure.

He walked to the edge of the sacred mountain, stood facing the raging wind, and put his hands behind his back.

In a flash of thought.

The terrifying aura of the Divine Platform Realm roared forth!

boom!
The world changed color, and the wind and clouds reversed!

Even the vortex of the world in the dome, which was slowly rotating, showed signs of stagnation!

"How far is it from glimpsing the spiritual platform?"

Shen Xi gazed up at the vast sky, his pupils as deep as abyss.

The sky is so high.

So high as to be unattainable.

It seems like there will never be an end.

"Weaving Fate".

"But it was a gift from heaven."

Suddenly, Shen Xi smiled and flicked her white training clothes.

"Only those born with divine gifts can sense those gifts."

"Jiang Jian, you possess a natural gift, yet you've kept it a secret until now. You're quite cautious." There was no blame in his tone.

Instead, it carried a touch of nonchalance and an undisguised appreciation.

As an unparalleled genius.

He fully understood Jiang Jian's actions and showed a different kind of agreement.

But then I thought of my daughter.

Shen Xi's handsome face immediately contorted.

In the depths of his eyes.

I was overwhelmed with self-blame and guilt.

And there is extreme pain.

but.

The most deeply hidden of them all.

It is a yearning for the Lingtai Realm.

His talent is "an avatar outside himself".

From humble beginnings in Baiye Prefecture, I have cultivated my way to where I am today.

This talent, following Shen Xi, soared straight to the ninth heaven, crushing countless peers.

Until he saw the altar, he achieved unparalleled success.

Shen Xi's cultivation suddenly and strangely stagnated, unable to advance any further.

original.

He didn't understand the underlying principles.

It wasn't until the True Lord Xu Suan took pity on him and painstakingly calculated for him that a startling conclusion was reached.

The "Avatar" talent.

Each time it is used, it will unknowingly take away a wisp of the soul!
The lost wisp of spirit is barely perceptible.

And it is not recyclable.

Over time and over time.

Shen Xi's soul has developed a strange deficiency.

This deficiency is different from that of Jiang Jian.

Shen Xi's soul remained intact, with no visible damage.

Using spiritual items to replenish the body had no effect.

But once Shen Xi's cultivation reaches a certain level...

The hidden dangers of a lack of spiritual essence will eventually surface.

This causes their cultivation to reach the upper limit of the spiritual level, making further progress impossible.

This suffocating confinement.

This left Shen Xi in utter despair, and she even contemplated suicide.

essentially.

Level 6 talent doesn't have the potential to reach the pinnacle.

just.

Some less fortunate beings awaken divine gifts that happen to be the "maximum" talent.

This divinely bestowed talent determines the upper limit of cultivation entirely based on one's level.

Shen Xi's "incarnation" is just like that.

As a level 6 talent.

The highest level of cultivation it can withstand is the Divine Platform Realm.

If it's the same type of "avatar", then switch to a level 7 talent.

Then.

The side effect of it taking away one's soul will disappear, and the upper limit will also increase accordingly.

If it weren't for "Avatar," but some other level 6 talent, there might not be a limit to its potential.

This is not just a limitation imposed by talent level.

This is especially true for Shen Xi, who has extremely bad luck.

A gift bestowed by God cannot be changed.

This is an undeniable fact.

But Xu Suanzhenjun once said it himself.

If one wants to defy fate and make up for this side effect, there are ways.

As long as one has the right innate divine gift, and is willing to expend their spiritual energy to repair it, their spiritual soul can be restored to its original state.

just.

A gift from the gods, rare in number.

Throughout Earth's history, there have been no more than thirty recorded cases of people being born with divine gifts.

Although the Earth, Moon, and Four Realms.

Half of the Spirit Platform Realm experts whose names are known are born with divine gifts.

However, these divine gifts bestowed upon these True Lords do not include the repair type.

Even if a true sage occasionally shows pity for the younger generation and wants to lend a helping hand, he is ultimately powerless to do so.

At that time, Shen Xi resigned from all his positions and lived in a daze, like a walking corpse.

Even Xu Qingxian, Li Yingying, and others, after trying to persuade him many times to no avail, stopped talking and let him do as he pleased.

until one day.

To numb himself, Shen Xi joined the lunar patrol team to clean up debris and extraterrestrial life in the star rings, killing many and returning from the lunar realm.

He encountered that true lord once again.

Xu Suan.

……

The long blade was frosty, and drops of fresh blood fell.

Shen Xi, panting heavily, plunged the knife into the barren ground.

I knelt down, enjoying the rare silence.

The surrounding area was littered with corpses lying haphazardly.

Part of it is ring debris.

The other part consists of extraterrestrial beings that roam outside the lunar barrier.

this time.

Shen Xi had forgotten how many people she had killed.

All he knew was that once he appeared, those bloodsucking extraterrestrial creatures would be filled with terror and flee frantically in all directions.

But I remained expressionless.

Holding a long sword, he caught up with them one by one.

They cleaved his body in two and shattered his soul.

He let the blood soak his entire body.

"Your situation has taken a turn for the better."

A calm voice came from in front of me.

But what reached Shen Xi's ears was deafening, making his body tremble and causing him to suddenly look up!

Facing the blinding light.

A Taoist priest stood above the light and shadow, looking down at himself.

His gaze was deep and unfathomable, devoid of sorrow or joy.

Only his tone carried a hint of pity.

"Greetings, Master."

Shen Xi straightened up, her voice hoarse.

The Taoist nodded and said, "I have deduced that a person with a divine gift might appear in Chang'an Prefecture on the surface of the world."

Shen Xi was taken aback when she heard this.

The beings of the Spiritual Platform Realm speak golden words.

Every word he utters has its own logic; he never speaks without reason, and he certainly doesn't use the word "maybe."

Xu Suanzhenjun, as the ruling Zhenjun, has an extremely noble status.

Within the Earth Alliance power structure.

It is their duty to calculate the innate divine gifts of the four realms of Earth, Moon, and Man.

but.

Before this.

Xu Suanzhenjun, or rather, "will appear."

Or rather, "it will not happen."

Like it is now.

The True Lord spoke of a situation that "might occur".

unprecedented.

"This gift from heaven is vaguely related to destiny."

The True Lord spoke calmly, “If you want to learn how to mend fate, you must first tear it apart.”

“I consulted a fortune teller, and it’s not a good omen.”

"The aura bestowed by the gods is faint and elusive; without a suitable catalyst, it may never appear in the world."

aside.

Shen Xi only half understood what he was hearing, but dared not ask any more questions, and simply bowed his head in agreement.

The Taoist was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said, "As beings at the Lingtai Realm of Earth, it is our duty to protect the living beings of Earth and Moon."

"It is not my intention to allow God to bestow this gift upon us in this world, but to act against my conscience and cause innocent people to suffer.

"only."

"Your talent and aptitude are excellent. If you can eradicate your old flaws, you may indeed have a chance to glimpse the spiritual platform."

"You are also a being born from the Earth and the Moon."

"I won't make decisions for you, nor will I ruin you for no reason."

"The choice is yours."

"Come to Penglai to find me when you've thought it through."

Speaking of it.

The True Lord turned around, flicked his sleeves, and left.

Without leaving a trace.

Shen Xi, leaning on his long sword, knelt on the barren ground, remaining silent for a long time.

The True Lord's words were already very clear.
